PETALS * Ochaco Uraraka x Hanahaki! Reader * BNHA fanfiction

L

The next morning I woke up to the sight of blood and a feeling of fatigue and sickness. I rushed over to Jiro's dorm and told her I was not feeling good today. She said that she'd inform the teachers that I was feeling sick.

As I was walking back to my dorm to clean up the blood, I saw Ochaco talking on the phone. I couldn't help but stop and listen to what she was talking about.

"Your dorm... at midnight tonight? 'Kay, got it Deku~" she giggled.

I started to choke and sprinted back to my dorm, avoiding Ochaco. As I got back, I choked up rose after rose until my carpet was covered in crimson blood and pale pink roses. Thorns littered my floor, and I was sure that some had found their way to my skin, but I didn't care.

I reached for my pretty pastel pink notebook and flipped to a new page in the middle of the book. I started to write words, coughing up flowers every five words. It was a painful process, but what I was doing needed to be done before I... moved on. I scribbled out the last of the series of words on the paper and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.

I tacked the note to my door and slowly walked to my bed. When I sank into it, it was comforting and welcoming. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't slept in a couple days and was running on pure adrenaline.

I guess that's what being close to death does to you, I sighed, rolling over.

I knew I wouldn't be able to go to sleep with death around the corner and the bruises and scratches that ran across my body. Still, I was willing to try.

I just want to die...

Ochaco's POV

I hung up the phone and smiled. Deku was so nice! He didn't have to throw a birthday party for (Y/N), but he did it anyway. I skipped to school grinning. That is, until I got to the class room.

I looked around for (Y/N), but I didn't see her anywhere. I went to Jiro and asked her where she was, but Jiro simply replied, "She was feeling sick.". I nodded my head and sat back down in my seat, frowning.

(Y/N) hasn't been feeling well lately. I really hope she's okay. Oh, sugar cookies! Did I hurt her feelings by rejecting her like that? Is she mad? Sad? Does she hate me?

Thoughts buzzed around my head, each more depressing than the last.

"Miss Uraraka? Uraraka?"

"AH!" I yelled, clearly startled. "O-oh, uh... what was the question again?"

"I asked you to read the next paragraph," The teacher stated, irritated with my lack of attention to the lesson.

"Oh, right!" I replied in my usual cheery tone before reading the next paragraph.

~*~*~*~

Hero training finally rolled around at the end of the day, and I was pumped! I had learned that we were fighting using our quirks. I looked up at the board to se who I was paired with.

Oh no... Mineta? Are you kidding me? Well, sugar cookies! At least he'll be easy to beat.

I paired up with Mineta and got into my sparring stance, waiting for All Might to say 'GO!' or 'BEGIN!' or 'FIGHT!' or whatever people say to start the battle.

"Aaand... BEGIN!!!" All Might shouted.

Ha, called it!

Mineta started flinging his balls at me, but I was too quick and speedy for them. I swerved in and out of his attacks until I got close enough to touch him. Then he was sent floating off into the sky.

"I-I'VE BEEN TOUCHED BY A GIRL!!!" He exclaimed, making me want to gag.

Hero training went on like this for a while, until we were allowed to walk back to our dorms. I wanted to check up on (Y/N), but decided against it, seeing as she could really use the rest.

Instead I resorted to hanging out with my amazing and handsome boyfriend, Izuku.

(Y/N)'s POV

I curled up on my bed, crying. Thorns poke at my throat and it was had to breath. I took in a raspy and quick breath and choked it out. I couldn't keep this up for much longer. My head throbbed with pain and ached. My lungs burned and felt raw, along with my mouth. I looked down at the mess I had created earlier on my floor. I didn't bother cleaning it, seeing as I could very well think of-

I choked up more flowers as I thought of Ochaco and Midoriya. They were the perfect couple. I bet they'll be happy without me in their way.

I gulped down some water and reached for my phone. I went to my contacts and scrolled through them until I landed on one familiar, sweet name.

Ochaco

I then clicked on the message button and wrote her something.

For when I die, I thought sadly.

I wrote her these exact words:

Ochaco Uraraka, I have loved you for my entire life. Even though you don't love me back, I still have feelings for you. I guess now is the time to tell you all of the things I've been keeping from you. Well, If you're reading this, I'm either dead or I took surgery, but I have the hanahaki. You gave it to me after you got with Izuku. Please don't beat yourself up about it! It was really my fault for loving you so much... anyways, I really will miss you. With undying, never-ending love, (Y/N) (L/N).

I wiped a tear away from my eyes and set my phone down. My finger hovered over the send button, but I hesitated to push down.

What if she hates it?

I coughed up another rose and shook my head, which was now throbbing so intensely that I could barely see straight. My vision blurred and I hastily pressed the send button.

Then I fell backwards onto my bed, into a puddle of blood, thorns, and roses.

My final thought was, Goodbye, Ochaco~. I will always love you.
